Pryor's rabbit-faced anxiety does not really get the chance it needs here -- he's a natural loony -- but his performance is very humanly attractive.

The most fascinating aspect of the movie is that it shows that Richard Pryor and Pam Grier have considerable abilities in their profession, something that has not always come out in their previous movies.
